That time Tito Puente cut an album with Andy González & Paquito D'Rivera

Sure the sleeve of Caiman's Super All-Star LP from 1984 looks completely generic but this overlooked Tito Puente set is a burner!  

Pacquito & Tito are joined by Steve Turre, Claudio Roditi, Daniel Ponce, Ignacio Berroa, Chocolate Armenteros & Mario Rivera.

Happy Birthday Clifford Thornton!

R.I.P. bass boss Andy Gonzalez, 1951-2020

Sadly, Bronx-born Latin jazz bassist Andy Gonzalez passed away on Thursday April 9th. He'll be greatly missed.
